[AlpacaTalk] RE: No Posts?
<<Oh yes, this was the most awful thing I ever heard about. It was last
year, I think, just a few days before Halloween. The cria was dark
brown, I think... looked black probably to the sick horrible pieces of
garbage that did it. It was speculated that it was some sort of satanic
ritual kind of thing. But, as no suspects have been caught and
absolutely no leads developed, it's just conjecture. Jess and Cookie
Bowers are handling the donation fund. I am pretty sure the cria
belonged to Tana Ward... I think in Illinois but I'm not certain of
that.>>
Sick pieces of garbage is putting it mildly. I am deeply saddened and
horrified to hear about this. And here we are with Halloween just
around the corner. I worry about my black barn cat every year,
especially given the total redneck area I live in. I guess now I'll
worry myself over my black female paca. I may close them all up this
Halloween night.
But then I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I just read a book review
yesterday for a book written about the Leopold and Loeb murder, rich
19yo graduate students in Chicago in the 1920's that for a lark picked
up a 14yo boy walking one night, they already had the murder
planned.....
happened to be walking down the street when these 2 pieces of human
garbage decided to strike. They "just wanted to know what it felt like
to kill someone". The book is about their life and their relationship
and I suppose trying to find a reason/cause/
don't give a big gd about their r'ship or their reason. I am up to my
eyeballs in poor excuses for humanity.
I used to volunteer at an exotic animal sanctuary in rural S. FL. We
had 2 hippos in the front lake. It was a small 10 acre piece of land
covered with lions, tigers, bears, etc. The fences were massive as you
can imagine. The lake was in the front and even tho the fence was
massive and very secure, there was a drive by shooting one night that
killed the female hippo. The male died a few weeks later of grief. He
would not leave her side, he would not allow the humans (us) to remove
her body from the lake, he would not eat. He grieved himself to death.
It was incredibly heartbreaking and the anger we all felt was intense
and all consuming. The law never found who did it. I don't think they
tried very hard. The lake has stayed empty ever since. And no animals
are kept within sight of the road any longer.
My grandfather was murdered back in the 30s by 2 young men he had helped
many times by giving them work, clothing, food, etc. He saw them
hitchhiking and picked them up. They murdered him and took his car for
a joy ride with his body stuffed in the trunk, then abandoned the car
across the state line.....while his wife and 2 young sons (one of them
my father) waited at home for him that night, and waited, and waited :-(.
Human garbage is not a new phenomena unfortunately. And vets are at the
top of my list these days. I would think one would have to deeply love
and care about animals to enter into the profession. Evidently not from
the stories several of you have shared with me about your vet
experiences. What a sad state of affairs. All the folks I know that do
animal rescue, that are vet techs, that go out and trap feral cats to
have them spayed and neutered then compassionately return them to their
own, etc, etc. all these people that work for little, usually NO $$$$ do
it for the love of animals. Yet somehow those that have worked so hard
to become educated and trained in the medical care of animals and that
now get the big bucks for doing so seem to not care about the very
animals supporting them in their very nice lifestyle.
